After Caitlin posted about genealogy, I clicked over to ancestry.com and signed up for the two week trial (if you do the same, and don't want to pay for a subscription, ensure you cancel in time!)

I think it would be easy to turn crazy obsessive about researching my family history, so I just stuck to following existing information on the site (from other people's research) and cancelled my subscription on the same day to avoid forgetting about it. And also avoid getting obsessed. It was fun. It was pretty easy to get back to my great, great, great, great, great, great, great grandfather on Dad's side who was born around 1690, but that's as far as the 'hint' prompts took me.

I also found this cute picture which is apparently of my great grandparents on Dad's side, Minnie and Norman, on their wedding day in 1908. So awkward-looking, but awesome.
